Tlie grades earnetl for the lirst semester, ending Jan, "in sliowed that H.5% of the grades earned were passing, A few pupils are doing but little, in fact, they will do hut little any where else, but the great majorily are doing good solid work.
Each tlepartmenl of work in charge of an expert in his line will continue to hring gootl results when pupils iio tlieir best. ,
The scliuol has taken on new life in alliletlcs. Last year a good founda¬ tion was laid and this year lias shown results of which we are all proud. Our chief aim is lo induce young peo¬ ple lo be fair, honest and persevering in their work and our Hasket Hall team has shown the result of this training.
The High School visitoror inspector from the Cnlverslty nf Illinois visited us in January and as a result uf his visit our scliool was farther recogni/.ed as an accredited school by having .J points added and the recognition being for two years instead of orie as previously.
